As another Tule draws near, the Hillf ielder rises to meet the joyous occasion by donning the hallowed garments of that great, benefactor, Santa CI a us, to spread pleasure and mirth in the midst of sobriety and resolution. Casting about for a likely group deserving of its unselfishness, this publication finally decided that no more appropriate recipient could be found than our own sealous little WAC organization. "Hot dawg!" said the editor; "hot dawg!" said assistant editor; "hot dawg!" said the society editor. Obviously, every WAC couldn't be contacted individually so the next best alternative was chosen; n namely, selecting a typical and questioning it as to its Christmas tastes and desires. red-nos- ed Superior Items to Soon Be Issued to EM Wlipn.
